THE BEST OF MOTOWN

I've seen Ain't Too Proud twice--first in NYC and also last year in Detroit. This year I have four tickets to enjoy it with friends who will be wowed by the superb singing, dancing and storyline. It's one of my top 5 musical productions that I've ever seen. It's quintessential Motown at its best!

AIN’T TOO PROUD

By far one of the best shows! This is a must see. The dancing and the singing and the talent you will see in this show is phenomenal. So much talent and all brought together in this show. Loved our seats in row L. A great story of the group goes along with all the dancing and singing. We have a new appreciation for their music after seeing this show!

FANTASTIC MUCH BETTER THAN THE SIX

I saw the six then I saw ain't too proud. There is no comparison. The six can't hold a candle to the temptations show. The six has good singing, but there is no story line and the show is flat and boring. The temptations show on the other hand, told a beautiful story, with superb singing, dancing and music. I was emotionally engaged totally from the beginning to the end in the temptations show. On a scale of 1-10, ain't too proud is a 9.5, and the six us a 6. If you have to pick one of the two, pick ain't too proud.

WINTER EVAPORATES WITH THE HIGH ENERGY GLOW OF THIS PERFORMANCE

First concert I saw at the age of 14 was The Temptations at The Valley Forge Music Fair and the feeling was back in full force at this performance. I read the book, saw the TV mini series, but the theater performance fleshes out the story with more humor than the other renderings of their story. I can’t give enough praise to the entire cast, some of whom have been with the show before and others who have not. The strength and purity of their voices is stunning. They put so much spot on effort into the songs and fresh choreography of The Temps style and sound you easily believe you are watching actual members of the group. They really do take you there. You will cry, there are many well played poignant reminders of the prices they all paid for their success yet you are left with great positivity and will,without a doubt, be listening to a lot of Temptations deep cuts after going to the show. See it! Maybe even twice.

AMAZING

We did see this in NYC a few years ago and jumped at the opportunity to see in again. Such a wonderful company. The music is amazing but the story behind one of the greats groups around is moving. Highly recommend this musical.

FABULOUS SHOW

What a great show. The "Temps" had people dancing, singing, and clapping in their seats. The music and choreography were fabulous. And I learned a lot about the Temptations history. 5 stars for sure!

4.0 star rating Tim from Chicago

GREAT SHOW, AUDIO NEEDS WORK

I saw this play in New York and now the touring version and while we enjoyed ourselves and the actors were great, the sound for the touring edition is not quite up to the same quality as it was on Broadway.
